LearningBuilder installations often involve multiple different types of people, each performing a different type of task. Commonly, those tasks are well-served by a "queue" that shows a list of some data in a specific state (meeting some business rule, for instance) and the ability to act on the data in some way.

Although the specifics are quite variable, there is a common pattern: the need to show a list of data filtered by some invariant rule, displaying a specific subset of available fields in the result list, and the ability for the user to apply additional filters using a configured set of searchable fields. The "Configurable Queues" framework provides a way for these queues to be created and managed through configuration, rather than requiring custom code.
